Vaslui is a municipality in Vaslui County, Romania.

The name of the settlement of Vaslui was first mentioned in 1435, in connection with the accession of Prince Iliaş to the Moldavian throne. The town was burned to the ground in 1439 and 1440, when Tatars invaded Moldavia. In 1475, Moldavian Prince Stephen the Great reputedly won his greatest battle against the Ottoman Empire in the Vaslui area (see Battle of Vaslui).

There once was a fairly large Jewish community in the city of Vaslui. However, waves of pogroms, associated with the Holocaust (see Romania during World War II) as well as emigration to Israel during Romania's communist period largely diminished its presence.
